It started with one of the amazing
and unforgettable characteristics of the Shibir, the
divine Abhishek and Marvelous Ganga Snan.
To perform Abhishek of Thakorji individually, all
participants were divided into three groups and arranged on
three ghats, namely Ved Niketan, Geeta Bhavan and Parmarth
Niketan. From 
2:30 pm to 3:30 pm, they were performing Abhishek and
Samuh Snan with senior saints alternatively. After singing
kirtans of Murti ( Vandu Sahajanand Ras Rup…) saints and
devotees were doing Abhishek and Ganga Snan.
This session knew no bounds twice on Nov. 11 and Nov. 15
when Pujyapad Jogi swamiji arrived for Abhishek and Ganga
Snan. On Nov. 11, at Parmarth Niketan Ghat a stage was
arranged in the flow of the Ganga. Along with Pujya
Devkrishna Swami and Pujya Madhavpriya
Swam i when Pujya Jogi Swamiji started the Abhishek of
Harikrishna Maharaj and Ghanshyam Maharaj, thousands of eyes had a memorable Darshan. From steps of the ghat, enchanting the Janmangal, devotees
had the rare Darshan for about 20 minutes. Not only that, when they got benefit of sprinkling of Abhishek jal with holy hands of Pujya Jogi Swamiji and elder saints,
their hearts were full of celestial joy and pleasure. After that, all
the participants took bath in the Ganga.
Also on the pious day of Prabodhini Ekadshi, Nov. 15, Pujya Jogi Swamiji
bestowed blessings at Ved Niketan ghat, where
H.H. Shastriji Maharaj had performed Abhishek for one month during
the first Shibir. After the Abhishek of Thakoraji, all saints had bath with holy hands of Pujya Jogi Swamiji. Swamiji also took bath from all saints. What a great moment of life for the saints!... Pleasure attained one more peak when Pujya Jogi Swamiji himself took bath in cold water of Ganga. At this age of 95, Swamiji bestowed
a typical
Darshan of Ganga Snan. Such unique Darshans of the Shibir became invaluable treasure for all saints and devotees present there.
